University of Colorado chemistry Professor David Nesbitt will present the final 抖阴短视频 Wizards program of the semester, "Chemistry is Fun," on Saturday, Dec. 26.
The program will be in the Cristol Chemistry and Biochemistry Building, room 140, at 9:30 a.m.
Nesbitt will use exciting visual displays and experiments to illustrate the basic concepts of chemistry. He plans to produce several explosions, show how liquids mix or don't mix, demonstrate the effects of temperature on chemical reactions and explain how fireworks get their colorful glows.
Nesbitt also will grow an underwater Christmas tree with silver needles and present many other demonstrations appropriate to the holidays.
"I want to show how cool chemistry can be," Nesbitt said. "Chemistry is all around us and we experience it daily."
